Too many artist managers are:
- Overwhelmed and doubting themselves.
- Afraid of failing and not living up to their artist’s expectations.
This is likely because they are:
- Lacking music business expertise and clear direction.
- Lacking artist clients (or reliable + high paying ones).
- Lacking music industry contacts.
When things stay like this for too long they end up:
- Quitting or getting fired by their artists.
- Wasting too much time and not getting any results.
- Burning out, or worse, feeling like failures.

Now it’s your turn.
The membership and SmartistU community have been a HUGE asset and vital resource for me. I discovered Jamie New and her work at a time when I was transitioning in my journey as an artist and was looking for a mentor to help me navigate my new path with a new mindset.
Through our process of working together, I’ve been able to get clear on what I need to focus on, begin building a team, and take the necessary steps to make my artistry an actual, sustainable business.
The process of manifesting the dream (being a full-time musician) is an ongoing project, filled with ups and downs, and many setbacks; but with Jamie and the SmartistU community as an essential part of my team, I feel closer than ever to seeing it actually manifest.
Steff Reed, Artist, Grammy-Nominated Music Educator
“I wanted to go full time but lacked the knowledge and resources it takes to make it.
Since joining SmartistU I have started my own management company, built a tiny house and office, signed two artists, and achieved my year-long goals. The resources that SmartistU provides are game-changers for anyone wanting to be a mover and shaker in this industry!“
Sarah Fleshner, 362 Entertainment, Nashville
“This has been by far one of the BEST decisions and investments I’ve made. The information, PDF files, and excel spreadsheets have all been a tremendous help in navigating my artist’s careers.
This course and Manager Toolkit has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to start my own business. I started a consulting business; J.K.B. Strategic Consulting, LLC. Since then I’ve had my artists roster increase as well as hold several consultations a month.
Some highlights from my artist have been charting on Billboards, performing at major national events like the National Cherry Blossom Festival, winning independent artist award shows, and several TV appearances.”
JaLil Brown, JKB Strategic Consulting, Virginia
“When I found Smartist University, it was like the information cut right to the chase. No fluff, no fillers – just incredibly detailed actionable steps and a narrative that encouraged, inspired, and shed light on areas of music promotion that I couldn’t find anywhere else online.
In addition to getting my new single on radio, because of SmartistU I registered my titles with Media Base, Nielsen Soundscan, registered with DMDS and tapped into a new territory of DIY radio promotion — insights I previously didn’t have access to.”
Mariami, Artist, New York/LA

“I thought I already knew a lot about the music industry… but then I started this program and realized how much there still was for [SmartistU] to teach me. [The] course is straight to the point and tells you what you need to know without fluff or ego. I left feeling so much more confident in my abilities as an aid to artists. I couldn’t recommend Jamie and her program more highly.“
Paige Williams
“I learned how to approach and pitch ideas and collaborations with other artists and industry people, and I am currently in the process of negotiating the exclusive rights to a specific beat my artist used! Through this community and training, I’ve been able to unfreeze myself and address the factors that contributed to my fear of progressing my business plans.“
Tayo Ajose
“So far I’ve tried several packages on managing artists and managing yourself as an artist and yours by far, without me even diving deep into the product, is already helping me out tremendously as a self-managed artist.”
Naomi Agosto
“Your templates, checklists and spreadsheets alone have given me a huge leg up, and you’ve saved me months of labour. Thank you for doing this. I look forward to sharing my successes (and those of my artists) with you and your other members.”
Steve Parton
“I was recently able to share an “artist win” as one of my artists had his single played on commercial radio. One of the tips that Jamie gave us about Radio Promo was to follow up with every station after you get that one spin. I’ve taken that to heart and this week these other stations are starting to respond about playing the track.”
Felicity Ryan

“Very much helped me better understand “Failure & Rejection”. That is an area I have struggled with for decades…. Honestly wish I could have addressed this topic 20 years ago! Better late than ever. I am more at peace with regard to this teaching.”
